Experience the brilliant life of Ba Jin in the hall of literature.

No. 455 Wujin Road was originally the "Yihong Garden" built in the late Qing Dynasty, meaning "Rainbow Reflected on the Screen." Taking advantage of the restoration of this cultural heritage building and the construction of the Shanghai Literature Museum, the Ba Jin Library was established here. ✔️ Stepping into the Ba Jin Library feels like entering a literary hall filled with historical memories. There is no noise, no glamour, only a faint scent of wood mixed with the ink fragrance of paper slowly spreading in the air. ✔️ Upon entering the Ba Jin Library, you are greeted by a striking background wall featuring Ba Jin’s handwriting—"Give your heart to the readers," instantly drawing you into the spiritual connection between this literary giant and his readers. ✔️ The Ba Jin Library has two floors with six exhibition halls, like an "incredibly rich book": a large number of photos, artifacts, manuscripts, works, letters, and various editions of books, unfolding the vast life of Mr. Ba. ✔️ Near the exit on the wall is a passage Ba Jin wrote to his readers, saying "I will never forget you" (photo 15). At this moment, I just want to say: I will never forget you, never forget Family Spring and Autumn. 📍 Detailed address: No. 455 Wujin Road, Hongkou District. 🚉 Transportation: Metro Line 10, Sichuan North Road Station, Exit 3. 🕒 Opening hours: 10:00-17:00 (last entry at 16:30, closed on Mondays). Free admission, no reservation required.
